Liposam - is an innovative bio-adhesive for healthy orchards and garden

Liposam is an innovative product developed by Ukrainian scientists based on natural biopolymers. Liposam forms a microscopic net on the leaf surface that gently wraps the plant, keeping it moist and does not prevent plant growth and development. Liposam takes 15-30 minutes to form a net and fix on the plant.

Due to an elastic biopolymer net, Liposam:
- Removes surface tension and changes the viscosity of the solution, increasing the entry of the active ingredient into the plant
 - Preserves the wax layer of the leaf
 - Protects the plant from sunburn
 - Prevents over evaporation of moisture
 - Fixes plant protection of plant protection products on the leaf surface and prevents their loss

The use of Liposam as an adhesive helps to maintain and prolong the effect of plant protection products on the plant surface for up to 20-30 days. Due to the better solution spreading on the leaf surface, the active substance is well fixed on the surface, regardless of whether it is smooth or pubescent.

This effect is caused by the exopolysaccharide, which forms the base of the product. The specific branched structure of the polysaccharide allows it to be fixed on the plant surface and allows to fixing and retaining plant protection products and fertilizer nutrients in direct contact with plant cells, preventing their washout and helping to prolong their effect.

Solution spreading and burn protection
Many researches and practical experience have proved that at the same spraying conditions, a drop of solution with Liposam, falling on the plant surface, has an area 1.2-2 times larger than without the product. At the same time, the drop height decreases by 10-30%, depending on the solution concentration and drop size. This allows the solution to spread over the leaf and prevents sunburn, which can be caused by a lens-like drop.

The penetration of active ingredients into the plant
When compared with synthetic adhesives that damage the leaf's waxy layer, Liposam acts gently without damaging its natural membrane, making plants less sensitive to disease. This is possible thanks to the neutral low molecular polymers and their metabolic products. They stimulate the penetration of nutrients applied with fertilizers into the plant system without destroying the protective layer of the leaf.

Anti-stress effects
Often, crops are stressed by diseases and pests, uncontrolled use of pesticides, unbalanced fertilizers, and irregularities involving air temperature and soil moisture. Liposam helps to reduce crop stress. Liposam's exopolysaccharides, on contact with the plant, activate the enzymes that trigger the process of plant defense. Liposam biopolymers have specific properties that allow tham to regulate the processes of plant growth and development. As a result, the growth processes of the root system and vegetative mass can increase by 12-15%. Also, being a product of agronomically valuable microorganisms, this bioadhesive acts as an additional source of plant nutrition.

Solution preparation and storage conditions

Liposam can be used in a wide range of temperatures (from 5°C to 40°C) and is compatible with all water-soluble fertilizers, pesticides, growth stimulants and biological products. Importantly, follow the instructions for preparation of the working solution. First, chemicals, micro-, macroelements, etc. should be added to the tank mixture, then the prepared Liposam solution, and after careful mixing, add biological products.

Keep Liposam in a hermetically sealed container at a temperature between 0° and 20°C. 

Any standard equipment can be used for treatment and spraying of plants 

Guaranteed shelf life: 3 years from the date of manufacture at temperatures from 0 0C to 20 0C.
